I’m the girl who nobody knows
I’m the girl who doesn’t pose
I’m the girl who sits quietly in back
I’m the girl who has a panic attack
I’m the girl who can never sleep
I’m the girl whose pain is deep
I’m the girl who appears to be shy
I’m the girl who tries not to cry
I’m the girl whose heart is broken
I’m the girl who is always outspoken
I’m the girl who tries to be good
I’m the girl who is misunderstood

Rest in peace to the sidewalks outside
Cracking and crumbling as they collide
They had a good life, supporting us all
But even the strongest foundation can fall
Saying my goodbyes, paying my respects
Going back along the split concrete
Thinking of past memories, dragging my feet
That’s when I tripped, on that same sidewalk
On which I paid tribute exchanging sad talk
I caught myself with my hands, hearing a crack and a twist
Just like the sidewalk that fractured my wrist

When love is a gun separating me from you
I’d squeeze the trigger to make my dreams come true
Like cupid with his arrow, I’d shoot your heart
Just to make you notice me and how we’ve been apart
If I put the muzzle to your face, will you see me now?
It will cure your blindness so you can make a vow
To never forget that I’ve been here all along
As you look down the barrel you’ll know what you did wrong
I’ll switch the safety off, and ask you if you care
If you say yes then I’ll ask why you were never there
This isn’t Russian roulette, love is not a game
So don’t play me, or I’ll have my trigger finger to blame

The rocks hit me hard
blinding me with pain
I had let down my guard
the rocks pelted me like rain
                              and I let the tears drop

You had thrown sticks and stones
and I just couldn't dodge them
doing worse than breaking my bones
but your chance at noticing was slim
                                                     and I had let the tears drop

I had tried so hard to ignore
your harsh words echoing in my head
I held my heart together as it tore
next thing I knew, I was seeing red
                                                    and I let the tears drop

Then I felt the strength I yearned
I finally stood up to you
I used the strength I had earned
and threw the rocks back at you
                                                    and I wiped away the tears

Pretty flowers die
Chocolates just melt
Balloons float to the sky
Kisses are only felt
Money gets spent
Cards get thrown away
Perfume is just a scent
Poems are cliché
But if you like that:
Happy Valentine’s Day

Take my words and thrown them away
Save me from believing that you can hear
Save my breath from what I would say
Just leave me alone to wipe away my tear

You’re not my charity,
I’m not doing this for me
I’m keeping you from your own severity
And if you care, maybe you’ll see
